legalities to change from 6.5x55 to 7mm08?

dwighet · 06-03-2009 6:25pm #1

Hi there.
Im about to go down the road of changing calibers from 6.5x55 to a custom 7mm08..
Now my question is: will the transfer of licence be as easy as a stamp and a scribble on the licence from sarge at the barracks or do I have to go through the Dublin thing and wait another lifetime...

Either way Im going to do it,was just wondering if anyone has been down this road..

Thanks

Since both are large deer calibres, you may well avoid the re-application process you might encounter going, say, .22lr to .220 swift. It depends on your local lot though, so best to pop in and have a word. Good luck with it, it's an interesting calibre. Reloading would certainly make your life easier to run it.

Good luck, who're you going to for the rifle, out of curiosity?

We'll see with regard to reloading, would be ridiculous not to allow it with suitable provision.

I'll join at some point when I have the funds, too good a facility not to contribute to. However, until then, I'll be down as often as I can get to the VCRAI shoots.

Very nice looking rifle. I'm curious as to the jewelled bolt, how is it done and what advantages does it have?
